      An Enfield Jungle Carbine Finds a New Home

      An SMLE No. 1 MK III was the first "military" rifle I'd ever fired. I bought it years and years ago. And 303 British was the first cartridge I learned to reload. That was only the beginning. To better understand my rifle I learned as much about Lee Enfields as I could. Of course, one thing led...

      Ice Storm 12/16 - 12/17 - What a Mess!

      It's not unusual to get crappy winter weather in the mountains. Most of the time we expect it and are prepared. We lost power, internet, phone, TV etc. ~ 9PM last night. That sucks. This morning I had to take a geriatric beagle to the vet for her checkup. There was ice all over trees and many...

      Restoring an 1884 Springfield Trapdoor - Hooligan Style...

      Folks who follow our Hooligan Shoot threads already know an original Springfield 1884 Trapdoor appeared yesterday. Since it was built in 1892 "technically" it's an antique and not C&R. But since we don't have a BPRC section, this is the best place to start. We Hooligans enjoy shooting many...

      What a Difference a Sight Makes...

      Folks that have followed Hooligan threads know we enjoy shooting black powder. We like to make white smoke in BPCR's like our Sharps rifles, various BP revolvers like Walker's, Army's and Navy's and (of course) muzzle loader long guns. And the ML's we shoot range from cap locks like an 1861...

      Marlin 60 "Safe Queen" Revisited

      One day, back in 2012, Mrs. J and I were at Wally World together. Of course I stopped by the rifle display to browse. Somehow I got approval to bring home another Marlin 60 that day. :) The tiger stripes on the rifle were nice. And I knew at the store the Walmart dipsh!ts had installed the...

      DIY M*CARBO Mosin Nagant Trigger Kit Installation

      The M*CARBO trigger spring kits I installed in my TC Compass rifles made a world of difference. When I saw they had trigger upgrade kits for Mosins, I figured for $20 what the hell - give one a try in one of my old relics. So I picked this 1931 Izzy as the guinea pig. :) Below is a YouTube link...

      Need Folks Help To Track Down The AssHat That Shot The Savage River Range Door

      All, As you know the Hooligans regularly shoot at the Savage River Range in Grantsville. Most of the folks we meet there, either locals or visitors, are safe and respectful shooters and gun owners. But occasionally, like anywhere, there are jerks. Most of the time we deal with cleaning up the...

      Should I Repurpose This Muzzle Brake?

      As most folks on the forum know, we Hooligans enjoy tinkering with options on our firearms. Here's one I'd like your input on. Let me set the stage: Several years ago a Ruger American Ranch in 300BLK joined our fun. After bedding the rifle in a nice Boyd's stock, adding a muzzle brake made...

      Pedersoli Blue Ridge Flintlock?

      Today another smoke pole arrived at its new home. :party29: Thanks to 4570inMD's mentoring, several of us Hooligans have become big BP fans. After recently building a Traditions Kentucky Flintlock from a kit, I knew I couldn't stop at "one rock gun"! ;) I'm very impressed with the fit and...

      Traditions Crockett 32 Cal Squirrel Rifle?

      Something a little different is coming to a Hooligan shoot soon. I've been considering adding one of these Crockett rifles to my collection for a few years. Don't know why, but it looks like fun. Everywhere Ive researched on the inter-webs I've seen good reviews. I searched the forum and...

      Link to Maryland FSA Mag Capacity Law?

      Thanks for your help in advance! I'm trying to help an old friend stop losing sleep because he thinks the ATF could come knocking on his door over standard capacity mags he has owned for over ten years for his "now-banned in Marylandistand" semi-auto rifles. Like the membership here, I fully...

      And Another Hooligan Traditions Kentucky Rifle DIY Project

      Another Hooligan Project ---> Reloading 32 S&W BP Cartridges

      As usual, another unusual project has found its way to my reloading bench ---> Building old 32 S&W black powder ammo. Who's surprised? :lol2: Here's the project: This old H&R Top Break revolver came to me years ago (first pic below). Based on my research it's from pre-1900. In good shape, but...

      Well Crap ---> My RCBS Hand Priming Tool Broke....

      Since I reload so many different calibers (often in small batches) -my RCBS 90201 Universal Hand Priming Tool has been rode hard for over ten years. It's a great tool, but nothing lasts forever. :sad20: For folks who are not familiar with this tool, the design is simple: A spring wraps around...

      A Bear Is Hanging Around In Deep Creek...

      I'll be more specific: A bear is hanging around "our development called The Gleanings" in the Deep Creek area... so I've been told by Mrs. J and other reliable sources. I haven't actually seen said bear. I'm told he's trolling, has been spotted several times and there have been a couple of...

      Marlin 925M .22WMR FTF's ---> Why?

      This Marlin 925M has been a safe queen for about 10 years. I bought it new, shot it a couple of times and it didn't impress me. It had <100 rounds through it when I put it in mothballs. Since 22LR ammo is SO much cheaper than 22WMR I re-purposed the scope I had on it and the poor rifle has...
